All diamonds are common. This isn't the 19th century. The only reasons diamonds are expensive is because of a century-long ad campaign and a century of men (ETA: and women) gullible enough to be convinced that spending exorbitant amounts of money on an essentially useless item is an appropriate and traditional display of one's love.

I paid almost 20k for my wife's ring and 9 years later I gurantee I can get close to that if I sold it.
Bull. Shite. Nobody buys used diamonds, bro. And if they do, they don't pay anywhere near what you paid for one in the jewelry store.

Some people buy old diamonds. I love antique jewelry.

Their valued is tied directly to the Debiers monopoly on diamonds and a brilliant marketing campaign to women that are distracted by shiny objects (honestly probably the best marketing campaign of all time)


I dunno, saying greasy chicken is "finger lickin' good" is pretty brilliant, too.

and kudos to the guy who took the worst piece of chicken and invented the "hot wing"

You can eat a diamond but 0 nutritional value.
